    Hello,
    display_type (empty), order (0) and thumbnail_id (0) are saved on each category record, even though I don’t make any changes to the termeta table. As you can imagine, when there are many categories, there is much more value in the database.

    I’d like to remove thumbnail_id, order and display_type for “better performance” for all categories where I don’t use thumbnails and custom display shapes.

    Do you think this will cause an error anywhere?
    Thank you.

  • Hello,

    Kindly note that deleting records from the database will not make a noticeable difference on your site performance, many databases work based on search trees i.e. a data structure that assures the performance when searching for data will be as fast as possible.

    On the other hand, if you would like to enhance the performance of your store, please refer to this article.

    Let us know if there are any questions. Thanks 🙂

    Hi @loopforever,

    Answering your question here

    Do you think this will cause an error anywhere?

    Only by performing a test, you can be sure that there will be or will not be errors in your site. Duplicate your site and database with the WP Staging plugin for this purpose.

    Best regards.
